Behind the Boards: The FaNaTiX

Editors’ Notes You’re likely to recognise The FaNaTiX’s beats before ever hearing their trademark ident. Fusing drill, grime, bashment and more, the London trio boasts a slippery, synth-forward style that gives their singers ample room to shine. That means atmospheric dancehall to suit Popcaan’s singsong style, bass-heavy grit for Giggs’ gravelly road rap and hypnotic minimalism to highlight Nicki Minaj and Vybz Kartel’s delicious idiosyncrasies.
